I’ve partnered with Baby Dove for this post. Thank you, Baby Dove!
I have really sensitive skin, and it took me a really long time to find products that could help me. I tried everything from pricey salon brands to generic supermarket soap before finally finding Dove body wash and lotion. I’ve been using it for years now. If I’m ever at a hotel and use their body wash, my skin always gets dry and flakey, and will even break out in little bumps/rashes. As soon as I get home and back to my regular body wash? My skin clears up immediately and any dry skin discomfort disappears.
Unfortunately for my kids, they inherited my sensitive skin. James is especially sensitive – I have to be so careful with what products I use on him. In fact, I still have to use baby detergent on his clothes, and baby wash on his skin during baths lest he break out in a rash like me. I have to rub lotion into his skin daily to keep it moisturized and itch-free, otherwise, he will scratch his skin so much that he’ll leave a mark. Poor buddy.
When I heard about the new Baby Dove line, I was immediately intrigued. I’ve had so much success with adult Dove products, so I was really hopeful they’d work for James, too. I tested it out first by washing his hands with the body wash. I figured if he had a bad reaction to it, it would only make his hands itch and not his entire body. Luckily, he had no visible reaction, and when I asked him later if his hands itched he looked at me confused and said, “Um, no.”
After that, I decided he was clear to try a bath with the Baby Dove Tip to Toe Wash. After he and my other favorite little boy, Liam, had a long afternoon of playing together, I threw them into the bathtub. It was cuteness overload.
This was the first time I’ve ever bathed James in anything scented — that’s how sensitive his skin is! Baby Dove does come in an unscented option, too, but the scent is so gentle that it didn’t irritate James’ skin (or mine!) at all.
Liam still has that delicate, delicious baby skin that you can’t help but want to kiss and nibble on.
After the bath, we rubbed the Baby Dove Rich Moisture lotion into their skin. They smelled soooo good (and their skin felt amazing)!
I highly recommend these products! James’ skin gets so dry in the summer with all of the sun and chlorine exposure, and I’m feeling pretty confident that the Baby Dove products are going to help keep him comfortable during the months when he’s often itchy and miserable. All of their products are pediatrician and dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic, so they are good for even the littlest of babies

I normally don’t like it when people comment with tiny corrections, but because this is a sponsored post.. I think you meant to say “if you’re ever in a hotel and *don’t* use their products..”. In any event – thanks for the tip! I’ll look into this next time I’m working with a sensitive skinned babe!
Becca says:
I’m an idiot – you meant to say “their” as in the hotel’s, not Dove’s. My bad. See! This is why I don’t ever comment with (perceived) corrections!
Heather says:
LOL! I do appreciate the corrections though, so if you see them in the future please let me know!
Krystal says:
Hi! I am intrigued by this line too but I didn’t get it because they sealed the bottles. Who doesn’t smell a product before buying it?! Lol! Can you please describe the scent before I commit? Thanks!!
Heather says:
Oh, I didn’t even think about how the bottles are sealed, but you’re right! I’m terrible at describing scents but it reminds me a bit of baby powder, but also smells very clean and fresh. It’s not overpowering at all – it’s just enough that when you take a sniff of your kiddo’s head you’ll think, “mmmm, you smell so clean and yummy!”
Krystal says:
That sounds perfect, thank you!
Melissa says:
Thank you for this review!! My sweet James also has horribly sensitive skin and eczema as well, so we’re constantly lotioning him (both with OTC and prescription stuff) and finding a body wash that works with his skin is a nightmare. The doctor actually told us to only bathe him once a week since his eczema flares up at any more than that. I’ve seen the commercials for this new line but have been too nervous to fork out the money in case he breaks out. I’m so glad it worked for your James (and Liam too!) I love Dove products so I’ll pick some up next time we need more.

I was *very* allergic to Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Lotion as a young teen; you know, the awesome-smelling one in the pink bottle. It caused me to almost rake off my leg skin. Super bummer!!! It was at that time that I noticed the bottle read “dermatologist tested,” just as the Baby Dove bottle apparently does. I’ve always wondered since then, and perhaps your sponsor can clarify: why doesn’t it read instead “dermatologist tested AND CERTIFIED” or “dermatologist tested AND APPROVED?” Just because it’s tested by them does not mean it’s *approved* by them after their testing.
Heather says:
Good question! I will see if I can get some clarification!
Valerie says:
I love Dove!! After YEARS of teenage (and adult!!) angst fighting acne, trying just about every “secret potion” on the market, a simple bar of Dove soap helped clear it up!! I love all their products and have been a fan FOREVER!!

This is my girls and I, too. Such a bada*s character. Love it! Plus, the actress herself is awesome!

Meant to put this on your Wonder Woman thread. But you get the point.
